Ah! It seems another group of adventurers seems to have taken up the mission. Nya feel sorry for them. This one's tough!

"Ah! Hello!" The old scholar would greet the group. "I know we ask for help a bit, but many of us are far too old or inexperienced to handle the monsters that nest in the library." The last group had disturbed a particular tome that had been enchanted too!

The old scholar wold provide the group with a small list of books they needed to obtain for him and bring back. If they happened to clear out a any particular nuisances in the process he would add to their reward!

The books were as followed: Halicarnasus: God of Illusions, Mirage Village: Lost to Time, The Passage to Hell: The Great Trench, and Twintania: The First Chimera. Bring all of the books back! A.

The adventurers are to go down and fend off beasts as they search the rows of shelves for the tomes in question. What made it easy was that the tomes would be sorted by their placement in the alphabet, discarding 'the' in any of the titles.

Good luck nya, but I don't know how you can stand books. The posting order is as follows! You've three days to post or you'll be skipped by meow!Ysera , Nil , Elsa , Syel the Green and missionmod!

Finding a rather curious request, Syel had come to Ysera with the idea of taking it on. Having looked it over, the Gria figured it was something for the Viera. Books and monsters. Honestly, the idea seemed weird enough. She wondered how the library there even got monsters in their basement, but as the two had gone to the location, it did appear to be a rather large library, an old one too.

When she was given the list, Ysera looked at the two others that seemed to have come for the request. One was a woman with white hair that didn't look like a fighter. Perhaps she was some sort of caster. If she had come alone, the Hunter suspected she was more likely a Black Mage than a White Mage, but there were the possibility of many other classes too. Though, she figured she'd learn soon enough. For White Magick they already did have Syel with them.

The other was more curious. Much like her, this man had horns, but wore a mask to prevent one to see the facial appearance. Considering the robe and the mask, it was as if the man was trying to conceal his entire appearance as well as he possibly could. She couldn't really place him that well. Especially when it came to classes. However, considering she was herself a ranged fighter with bow, they would lack close range fighters if this man wasn't and nobody else was.

Still, it'd be nice if they could take down any enemies from range before they even got to them. Ysera merely nodded to the two unknown individuals before returning her attention to the old scholar that had given them the list. The Hunter had not exactly checked the list herself, knowing that Syel would easily memorize it and know what they'd be looking for.

Moving towards the entrance to the basement, Ysera started to move down while she figured she'd introduce herself to the two unknown entities of their party: "I'm Ysera," she started while taking a look at the two while walking down the staircase, "a hunter and leader of a clan," with that she started to think what best way to continue. After a little silence in case they also had things to say, she continued: "I felt we'd best pool our resources, to see what our best course of action is."

Honestly, Ysera didn't want to say too much, she wasn't that much of a talker, but rather a thinker. Still, if they could have an idea of each other's strengths, then she could at least think up a plan as they go. She suspected Syel would deal with support and finding the necessary books unless the other two were good at such as well. Still, the behemoth-like person didn't look like a reader to her.

I'll spread my wingsand I'll learn how to flyI'll do what it takestill I touch the sky.

Okay, so traveling around worlds wasn't as complicated or as daunting as it had first sounded. Sure when Nil had first found out about there being more worlds out there, the aspect was mind-boggling. But after a couple of trips to and fro on various space fairing vessels, it almost made the idea seem mundane!...Almost, I mean it was traveling around the universe how cool was that?! This time his interplanetary hitchhiking managed to find him on a planet creatively named Planet R. Well it's not like he could have done much better.

It was over the course of his exploration of this 'well named' planet, that the berobed behemoth happened upon the Library of the Ancients. Nil was of course immediately drawn to the sheer amount of books in one place! He'd never seen nearly this many, not even in his Master's study. Nil spent a good few days in the library, reading whatever he could get his paws on. Art, music, ancient history, even though it wasn't history of home, it was all super fascinating, and the scholars were all very welcoming. More than a few times the behemoth had fallen asleep in a chair, only to awake later with a blanket draped over him. And so of course when the scholars called for aid, Nil was more than happy to help! It seemed that a few others were willing and able as well. All the better! Nil didn't really cherish the idea of going into any sort of unknown basement alone.

After the young horned woman introduced herself, Nil bowed in return. "Nice to meet all of you, my name's Nil!" he replied cheerily. "I'm not sure what uhm...what sort of monsters they're expecting down there. But it's a library right? Can't be too bad yeah? E-either way they say two heads are better than one...so four heads are even better still...or uh. Something like that." Nil rubbed the back of his head and sighed. Man, being not awkward was really difficult. Confidence so wasn't his strong suit, but if he was going to try and make friends with these people, he'd have to at the very least have their backs if anything went south.

Elsa hadn’t traveled to different worlds before. The fact they even existed was such a strange notion to the queen. She was cautious to even attempt to visit another world, but she had motives to try. Despite being happy with her powers and having more control of them now she never knew why she had them. So she wanted to travel to other worlds to maybe get an answer as to why she had these powers. It was a selfish reason sure, but she knew her sister Anna would understand. So she left a note for her sister in the middle of the night before heading to this new world in search of information.

Some might call it irresponsible and even reckless for a queen to leave her kingdom, but Elsa knew that when royalty were on diplomatic missions of peace they would sometimes need to let their kingdom survive on their own. That being said it wasn’t like Arendelle was completely helpless as Anna was certainly responsible enough to care for the townsfolk. “I do hope she will be ok,” Elsa said to herself as she gently walked around the library with her gown tailing behind her. She certainly didn’t look like a scholar or an apprentice so she most likely stood out like a sore thumb in this part of the world. This was probably what caused one of the scholars to ask her for her help with the fending off of some beasts for them. Elsa honestly wasn’t sure if she was suited for the job, but when they told her she would be accompanied by some other people she felt more at ease. She was still nervous about working with people she didn’t know, but knowing she wouldn’t be alone was certainly helpful.

When she arrived at the location where they would be meeting Elsa noticed the interesting appearances of her company. Two girls one who had wings and another who had ears like a rabbit? She wondered where the two women hailed from to have such unique forms. While the fourth member of their party was a large man wearing a cloak and mask so Elsa couldn’t make much of an opinion on him. The queen wondered if maybe her joining in on the group would even prove beneficial to them as they all seemed so abnormal. She was used to feeling like an outcast, but to feel like the outcast in a group of people whom could be called outcasts was a strange feeling. Did she not belong to any type of group?

Elsa crossed one of her arms to hold upon her elbow blocking her center off from them. She looked down at the ground as the woman with wings introduced herself as Ysera. She seemed so confident to Elsa and it was a bit unsettling. Her nerves began to take hold of her as she accidently frosted her elbow before taking a deep breath to calm herself. This wasn’t a time to be nervous she needed to do this if not for the scholars for herself. She was about to introduce herself when the giant of a man spoke. She was quite surprised to hear in which he spoke. He was almost gentle sounding it almost reminded her of someone. A picture of Olaf emerged in her mind and she gave a small chuckle. Something about his awkwardness was helpful for the queen as she was able to calm down.

She put her hand back down and clasped her hands together and gave a short nod. “It’s a pleasure to meet your acquaintances,” Elsa said with dignity. Raising her head back up she continued, “I am known as Elsa.” She released her hands and brought them down to her side. Looking back at the man she said politely, “Yes four heads are indeed better than two.” She smiled at him in an attempt to show that she understood how nervous he was. She then decided to address the fact Ysera asked what their resources were since she did share she was a hunter and leader of her clan. “I specialize in the fabrication of Ice and Snow,” Elsa said giving her hand a small twirl and created a snowflake shaped ice sculpture that would fit in her palm. Elsa then waved her other hand upon the sculpture and it disappeared in a flurry of snowflakes that melted before hitting the ground. She decided to leave her status as a queen from her land as she wasn’t sure she was truly ready to lead a group of adventures to battle creatures just yet.

Moving happily forward, Syel followed Ysera into the library. They had a mission on finding some books apparently in the basement with demons. It sounded a bit strange, like why didn't they make a request to clear the basement of all its demons, but considering the size of the library she felt they needed actual guards in the basement if anything. Perhaps tame some demons and turn them into said guards? At least think of a way to make use of the situation? As long as they don't start turning it into an amusement park to lure kids in and get rid of them. She could see some old geezers perform such an act.

Looking at the requested books as they were given a list, Syel noted some of the names down to memory. She would very much like to read a few of these while they moved. It was interesting to say the least. Looking over at the two people joining the party, there was a woman and a masked person. The mask was a bit big, also from his figure, she could say he was a big fellow if anything. Also horns. As they started to move, Ysera made an attempt at introductions. The woman was named Elsa and used a form of ice magic, while the other was Nil and didn't exactly give much else. "I'm Syel, I'm a Green Mage," she stared with a big smile and peeling her eyes off the book list, "I'm a healer, so I plan to stay a bit in the back if possible, my abilities allow me healing and to cause certain... effects on one's body in different appearances," green magic was status magic after all. So she dealt with a lot of status effects.

Looking at Ysera, she figured it'd be best to make this suggestion: "maybe increase the heads from four to six?" she asked amused, since the Gria normally would already have her summons out. The viera grew used to seeing their faces with them. Looking at the list and then at a bookcase as she stepped forward, Syel then moved to the next bookcase as she checked more titles, "let's go in that direction for the 'H',"[/color she mentioned, figuring to guide them to the first book. She didn't see any demons yet.

Upon entering the ancient library it became clear why it was that the scholars would not afford themselves guards, warriors or even permanent extermination of hostile life here. Just upon entering one could feel magic thick in the air. It seemed many of the tomes were enchanted, amongst the ordinary literature, and thusly summoned creatures of all manner from the void and beyond to roost in the semi-damp environment. It was also the perfect place for spiders to hunt their prey such as paper eating moths and voracious fungi that oft consumed the native bat populations. Walls of shelves lined the delve whilst tables stocked full of unsorted books lay scattered at the bases around the towering structures, which stood many men high, some stacked with permanent fixtures of stone ladders carved into the limestone casings.

There appeared Gargoyle atop some of the casings, their dark eyes watching the visitors hungrily. Many did not swoop, as their guests were much to far to bother, but some were close enough to kindle a sense of unease in the flesh of the inexperienced. Were the group to make their way to the H section they would quickly find that a few adventurers handling these retrieval missions seemed best. Ancient books protected by magic, and historical accounts that, if mishandled, would be lost forever. It was the job of the scholars to restore many of the faded books and when come nibble nymphs after pages torn and perforated by fangs it was better left to the adventurers to obtain them for the frail, old men. Atop a table lay a few books that followed the like of marking progression: Habitats of a Merged World. Heraldry of Kingdoms Past, Hideouts across Karnak... wait?

There seemed a missing tome.

The book in question looked to already be sorted on the shelf, but collecting around it was a giant moth and when one named moths, Giant, their wingspans did to exceed the width of an adult, from finger tip to finger tip. It seemed to want to make the book its next, tasty meal. Its proboscis was already unfurled and stabbing at the hard covering which seemed to gleam with gold and pink, suiting a tome about the infamous wizard of illusions: Halicarnassus. It was white in color, plain as a moth would be, but on its wings were big, eye-like markings and the scales on the wings glittered with every twitch. Feeling too many close to its prey in question the moth flapped its wings, spreading them out defensively, but also releasing the poison tucked beneath its hundreds of intricately lined scales.

★ CHILDREN OF THE SKY

OUT IN THE DESERTS OF DARKNESS AND DREAMSOUT THROUGH THE OCEANS OF SADNESS WE SAILEDVENTURING ONWARDS THROUGH MYSTICAL SCENESBLOWN ON THE WHIM OF THE WIND THAT PREVAILEDWE HAD NO REASON TO DOUBT THE TRUTHDRIVEN BY DANGER AND DISCONTENTAND THE DRUMS OF YOUTH

Giving the others the floor to talk, the masked man started in a manner. It seemed he was having trouble responding to Ysera. The Gria still continued to be uncertain how to place him as she listened to him, at least now he could stick a name to the... mask. Nil. He didn't seem too confident and she couldn't place what kind of abilities he would bring to the table. In that effort, she hoped they would see what his capabilities were. For now they continued as the woman started to speak.

The lady introduced herself as Elsa and specialized in ice and snow. So perhaps she was a Black Mage focused on Ice Magic? It seemed she used it solely, perhaps that would mean her magic was greater than that of a Black Mage that used multiple types. Ysera would guess the class 'Sage' would fit better in this regard. The Gria nodded as she took in both while Syel also started to introduce herself and suggest bringing in her summons. Usually she would have them already out after all. Still, she didn't want to surprise people too much.

Holding up her hand, two lights gathered at her sides as suddenly Shivan and Sylph appeared out of thin air. The two summons she called upon the most commonly. Shivan, the daughter of Shiva, was garbed in blue and had palish blue hair. She was an Esper that used Ice Magic much like Elsa did. While Sylph was a sylvan spirit, garbed in red with green hair. An Esper that used Air Magic. The two small summons floated above the ground as they looked around. "Only magic I have is summon magic, beyond that I use my bow and a variety of effects I can give to my arrows," she explained.

From there she went to follow Syel as she started to check on the bookcases upon entering the ancient library. The gria had no actual sense to feel magic and seemed to disregard the environment. Ysera was used to these sorts of places, having entered many different environments and places that they did little to her. Honestly, she cared fairly little about them. At times she would dream a bit about going into places like this and it was always nice to have a visual aspect of things, but they usually became obscured by her own imagination.

Looking over the area, Ysera tried to get an idea of what they might expect and the gargoyles didn't go unnoticed, but seemed to stay where they were. So she couldn't exactly tell if they might be statues instead. Her two summons simply floated at the sides of the group. With Syel noting where they needed to go, Ysera moved towards the 'H' section. When they came to see the giant moth, she quickly pulled back her bow as she aimed at the creature's wings. Using her Vitals Shot, she fired an arrow in an attempt to disable the moth. It would prevent the creature from using its wings for attacks and possibly also to prevent it from flying. While doing this, she did remain within the cloud of poison that was spread.

Abilities UsedSummon: Shivan: Rank I Ranged Water Esper. Has 3 HP and a cooldown of two posts. She’s actually of the Ice-type, the daughter of Shiva. She’s weak to Fire-type attacks while resistant to Water-/Ice-type attacks. She is summoned alone. Her standard attack is sending a pellet of ice at her opponent. Click for image!

Summon: Sylph: Rank I Ranged Non-Elemental Esper. Has 3 HP and a cooldown of two posts. A sylvan spirit that uses Air-type attacks. They’re usually found in groups, but this one is summoned alone. Her standard attack sends out a visible wind strike. Click for image!

Vitals Shot: Ysera creates a special enhanced arrow that isn't solid and, thus, does no damage when hitting someone with it. Instead it causes a status effect upon those she hits with it for one post. When hitting someone in the legs, this effect will be immobilize, meaning the person cannot move for the duration. He can still fight from the spot he's on, but he's unable to leave that specific spot. When hitting someone in the arms, this effect will be disable, meaning the person cannot attack with his arms nor with any weapon or magic. In short, he's unable to make any offensive actions, but can still move around. When hitting someone in the torso, this effect will be silence, meaning the person cannot attack with any magic spells nor cast spells the remainder of the duration. When hitting someone in the head, this effect will be blind, meaning the person cannot hit anything with physical attacks, so any melee attacks with or without weapons will miss, but magic attacks still work normally. Two post cooldown.

Ahh, Nil was glad that everyone seemed to be nice and friendly! He'd heard that some adventurers out there were stoic or grumpy. What with their mysterious and drama filled pasts and whatnot. But the three ladies here seemed to be both friendly and professional! They must have been adventurers for quite a while already. The behemoth was certain he'd be able to learn a thing or two from this mission. As the quartet continued down the stairs, the other two women introduced themselves as Elsa and Syel, specializing in Ice and Green magic respectively...For a moment Nil wondered if that was magic centered around the colour green and how that could possibly work, before Syel explained it was a type of healing magic of sorts. That made a lot more sense!

Once down the stairs and into the library proper, it was like walking into a sauna. But instead of heat, it was magic...Though it was also kind of musty down here too, no wonder they sent younger adventurers down here, the poor old folks would probably have asthma attacks or something. Speaking of magic, Ysera gave a brief little demonstration on the magic she held, summoning forth a pair of frankly adorable looking...whatever they were to help! "Most of my magic...probably isn't suited for such enclosed quarters. I mean, maybe if I'm careful... he rubbed his chin in thought. Following the group along to the H section, it soon became readily apparent that asthma attacks weren't the only risk down here. From around the corner, the tell tale flapping of wings was revealed to be an extremely large moth. Good gracious! How many books and robes had this thing ate to get this big? Maybe it was the magic permeating the air that made it so chunky! Diet or magic aside, the thing was in the way of the group's work and it didn't seem like it would move along all friendly like.

After Ysera fired off the first shot, Nil called his keyblade to his paw with a flick of his wrist and followed in shortly there after to attack the moth, slamming the weapon into its side before launching into a small Pop Drop combo in an attempt to knock the flying beasty down towards the ground with a downward strike. Nil wasn't about to risk staying in melee range of the creature just yet however, and after finishing his assault would leap backwards and raise his free hand. Just ahead of his palm the moisture in the air suddenly child and a large chunk of ice spun for a moment before the Blizzard zipped off to strike the hopefully limp lepidoptera.

Action 1: Basic Attack: Just a typical ol' swing of the keyblade at the mothy moth!

The fourth member of the party, the bunny girl, introduced herself as Syel and called herself a green mage. Since Elsa hadn't heard of any magic outside of her own she was curious what this might have meant. She got her answer quite quickly as Syel explained she was essentially a healer. This was a good thing as it meant they had someone who could cover their backs in times of need. She was amazed at how different type of magic existed in the world and wondered maybe Syel could help her on her journey to learn more about her heritage. It was then that Syel said something to the winged woman about increasing their head count which confused Elsa more than anything else. She would of course figure out what she meant soon after.

As the winged woman brought forth two beings into existence did Elsa realize how different the outside worlds really were. The two creatures in question were called summons and much to Elsa surprise it made her put a name to her own creations. "Oh," she gave a short remark in surprise before adding, "I can also do a small amount of summoning." Elsa was a bit excited and thought maybe it would be nice to bring her own friends to help them in the task at hand, but then she remembered that Olaf would probably get too distracted by the world around him to pay attention. Though Mashmallow would certainly be useful in a fight she thought he might be a bit more dangerous to use indoors so she decided against bringing him too. "I feel they won't be much help for our task though so I forgive me for not calling upon them as you have done,"/color] Elsa said in apology as she gave a short bow.

As they continued towards the library Elsa could feel a thickness in the air. Though she didn't realize it was the magic that made the air feel dense as she wasn't that exposed to it outside of her own. Being locked in her room for all those years it was hard not to feel the presence of outside magic. Her past would certainly haunt her for this. The gargoyles that swarmed above watching them as if waiting to pick them off one by one certainly didn't do anything for the queen's nerves. She remembered those eyes the eyes of those who judged and ridiculed. She closed off her torso by crossing both her arms and she could feel her emotions getting to her again. Though she was able to control her magic this time around she knew if things became too intense for her she would lose control. In her mind she went back to her old mantra and chanted conceal don't feel. It wasn't a phrase that did too much for her, but old habits die hard.

As they reached the H section of the library they came face to face with their first obstacle a giant moth like creature. Elsa's eyes widened in fear at the sheer size of the creature, was this what she signed up for? She knew clearing out demons of the sort was on the task list, but giant bugs? She got chills on her skin thinking of how much damage such a beast could do to the literacy. Her delay in action due to her thoughts was quickly extinguished as Ysera and Nil began the assault. She needed to assist them in any way possible so she decided to summon a snow cloud. This cloud would attach itself above the moth hopefully delaying its actions against the party. She then created two pillars of ice on each side of the moth in an attempt to trap in so they could wail on it with their attacks. Elsa knew close quarters combat wasn't her specialty so she kept her distance away from the moth hoping to avoid an ill effects or attacks it may try to send her way.Actions:1. Elsa created a Snow Cloud above the moth that slows any creature or being not made of ice or has an affinity to ice.2. Elsa created two Ice Pillars to trap the moth to stop it from escaping.

Syel has been skipped, and poisoned!

But the team member, aside, were able to defeat the moth. Pierced through the dangerous looking mouthpiece, there seemed a piece of the book's page, which has managed to embed itself on the curling feeding tube. If removed the words on the page seemed to be marked with a number, six or seven, the native script a bit hard to read it was so stylized:

And after years of training the wizard had mastered the illusionary arts, which few could study, let along master. A surviving member of the rebel army recounted asking Halicarnasus once of her power. She would laugh and assure that it was because she was mad, she had boundless technique, and being on time for tea.

The page would be easily pressed into the book. It would seem they had their jobs cut out for them. With such as their prizes they we're sure to have a harder course than easy come the end of their journey.

Firing the first shot, Ysera took note of the others to see their reactions as well. Nil seemed to summon an odd weapon, one of those shaped like a key and started to attack in close combat while Elsa started to freeze the moth. The moth seemed to go down fairly easy that the Gria looked a bit worried at it. Slowly she started to check the corpse if it was really dead or just playing with them. "We’d best be careful, this might be an oversized moth, but the library is supposed to have demons in it," she said calm to the others while poking the moth with a boot, "there may be shapeshifters and other things that may catch us unaware. Things that appear dead do not have to be dead."

Still, it didn’t appear the moth would move at this point. Perhaps Syel could check for Mist, in any case. Noting something at the mouthpiece, Ysera removed the page, "think it ate the book?" she was wondering if they now needed to start cutting open the moth. "I’ll try and cut open the creature, see if there’s truly anything in the stomach," she said in a more annoyed tone. It seemed the page was largely unharmed, perhaps these books were magically enchanted to be capable of taking a lot of harm.

Giving the page to Sylph that floated next to her, Ysera motioned to bring it to Syel, figuring she was the most obvious to maintain the books. Then she started to cut open the moth and search its insides to see if there were any other pages before getting back up. "Anyone have any ability to locate what monsters got what pages?" they only barely started, but if the first book was already eaten by all manner of creatures, then this felt like a lost case.

Honestly, Ysera wasn’t sure whether to continue to the next book and hope it was in perfect state or search around the area for months and the like to complete the book.

Phew, alright so that was a bit scary. Sure, maybe it wasn't as big of a threat as it could have been, but it still was a giant moth! Who knew they could even get that big. With a little sigh of relief, Nil let his weapon poof away in a little cloud of rainbow coloured smoke and sparkles as he meandered over towards the shelves, keeping an eye on the moth as Ysera moved to gut and skin the thing...Could moth hide be used to make anything? The woman mentioned the moth having potentially eaten the book after finding a page on its proboscis, however..."I think this is the book actually." Nil replied as he leaned down to pick up a hard coevered pink and gold tome near to the moth's dead body. "It was stabbing at this when we arrived, so I don't think it had much chance to get more than maybe a page or two? I uh...it might not hurt to check the insides I guess." the robed man shuddered a little bit. He knew from books that hunters would often carve up animals for meat and skin and such, but to see the process first hand was a bit...squicky. But adventurers couldn't let a little squick get in their way right? Besides, even if he wanted to zip off and gag about nasty moth guts, he couldn't take his mask off right now!

Rather than stay focused on the vivisection of the insect, Nil would thumb through the book. "If it managed to tear some pages out, we can probably fit them back where they belong at the very least, that way the scholars can repair it once we get it back to them." were Nil to find the spot where the missing page had been torn from, he'd hold the tome open to let Syel slide it back in once she was done observing it. "As for uhm, locating monsters, I'm afraid I don't, sorry. Hopefully there's not too many cases of missing pages, else we could be here all night." Nil rubbed the back of his neck and glanced around. Now, he had stayed nights in the library before, but not this portion! The basement was creepy and dank and worst of all filled with monsters!...Alright well he was technically a monster too, but these were monstery monsters. Ones that probably weren't nice and definately weren't hiding their monsteriness to make others more comfortable around them. And though he may not have any ability to hunt down creatures per se, the behemoth would sniff at the air to at least see if maybe he could smell something over the scent of old tomes and damp air.

Syel moved towards the bookcase while casting Esuna upon herself. Checking the book that was in place and sticking the found page into it, she checked if it was complete. "As Nil said, the book is already here," she said whilst flipping through the pages.

Shutting the book, Syel pointed towards the next section, "shall we move on?" From there Syel started to move towards the next section, hoping the others would quickly follow her. The viera did, however, keep track if she didn't move forward without anyone nearby. Considering she wasn't a fighter so much.CooldownsEsuna: 3 posts

One would ignore the lull in progress because cats were naturally lazy creature. The Moth fluttered to the ground, motionless. With one book obtained the group was well on their way to the top, or in this case the bottom. Were they to make it to the end of the length of bookcases they would come to face a drop of sorts. Where stairs of stone would be, leading further into the Library was instead a mountain of books leading down. The unsteady surface of books shifted underfoot, but it was clear that they could cross down with no problem, steps or no.

At the bottom of the pile they could easily see the M section, but in the sea of books there looked to be a large Gargoyle posted on a pedestal. In its hand was a book that seemed to give off a strange, visual aura that made it almost appear double. It was Mirage Village,: Lost to Time. If they approached the area they would find themselves... feeling odd, the book likely enchanted. The Gargoyle himself looked in status: no color to his eyes, no life, but the grip it had on the book was tantamount to wrestling with a dragon!

The company would first need to make it down and could hopefully do so without falling! It's slippery.
